Binders ?Sun, 15 Sep 2019 10:00:03 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/binders.95696/
https://www.botl.org/threads/binders.95696/invalid@example.com (Dltarnnr)DltarnnrWas kicking around the idea of changing one of the leaves I roll with. Thought I would try a new binder, leaf only ships me a nicaraguan but there not specific on what I'm getting. So what binders would the great minds of BOTL use is the question?]]>3Today’s Smoke - 2019Sun, 15 Sep 2019 06:43:28 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/today%E2%80%99s-smoke-2019.94698/

I just had a HUHC while I was cleaning the pool but I’ve got a couple in mind for this evening closer to midnight!]]>8442Show/List your latest NC PurchaseSun, 15 Sep 2019 06:39:59 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/show-list-your-latest-nc-purchase.33015/

https://www.botl.org/threads/80-lowers.95694/invalid@example.com (boltman)boltmanI have gotten into building ar15/ar10 from 80% lowers. You need a few tools to get into it but the advantage comes from the ability to order an incomplete lower that does not go through an ffl.
Anybody else doing this?]]>3Latest cigar club arrivals.Sun, 15 Sep 2019 05:47:40 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/latest-cigar-club-arrivals.94717/
https://www.botl.org/threads/latest-cigar-club-arrivals.94717/invalid@example.com (Frost)FrostI like many other brothers here belong to “cigar of the month” clubs and look forward to the arrival of our shipment every month. I thought it would be interesting to start a thread to see what everyone is getting. These are the cigars I received from Privada Cigar Club the other day.]]>140What CC you smoking?Sun, 15 Sep 2019 04:37:49 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/what-cc-you-smoking.73362/
https://www.botl.org/threads/what-cc-you-smoking.73362/invalid@example.com (AlohaStyle)AlohaStyleI'd love to get more CC talk going so lets share what you're smoking and what you think of it!

I'll start it off with the Edmundo Dantes 109... a very good cigar with great construction. Well worth searching out...

Figure why not smoke with a good BOTL in town.

https://www.botl.org/threads/howdy-from-galveston.95698/invalid@example.com (Navyag)NavyagHello, New member. Been smoking about 14 years off and on, and enjoy smoking most stuff out there. Found this because I am looking to build a Walk in at home, and the mighty Google Machine pulled up a thread from here from 2005. Looking forward to seeing what else this has to offer.]]>2Trouble with RHSun, 15 Sep 2019 03:18:37 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/trouble-with-rh.95695/
https://www.botl.org/threads/trouble-with-rh.95695/invalid@example.com (rmante)rmanteI have a whynter humidor cooler which keeps my sticks at a constant degrees (the highest temp it will reach). Inside I have an oasis 4R hygrometer and a boveda butler. I have placed them both in a boveda calibration kit (75rh). They tested the same. However, when both placed within the humidor, the Boveda reads 69% RH and the Oasis 10 points lower (Temp is equal). Which one do I trust? I have two Biveda 320gm 69% RH inside the humidor. Any serious suggestions would be much appreciated]]>53rd Anual SWMO herf!!!!Sun, 15 Sep 2019 03:12:49 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/3rd-anual-swmo-herf.95238/

https://www.botl.org/threads/cigar-liquor-closet.95547/invalid@example.com (keithww)keithwwI'm getting ready to break ground on my retirement house and shop. Shop plans call for a 4 foot by 5 foot "Closet" that will have an exterior grade wood door with full sized glass panel, that may or may not be etched. The closet will be in the corner of my office / smoking room and share a wall with an unconditioned woodshop. I'm not worried about air quality for the room since all 4 walls will be interior walls and the room will be sealed with 2 inches of closed cell foam, my issue is I...

https://www.botl.org/threads/500-max-humidor-help.95691/invalid@example.com (Lomey)LomeyMy sister in laws boss wants a nice humidor in the $500 max range. Probably in the 50-100 cigar range if such a thing exists. I know size matters in the count so this is why the wide range. He wants something to look nice in his office. I'm a wineador and large Tupperware guy so I have no idea what is a good wood humidor or not. I just know there is a lot of crap out there. Anyone have a recommendation?

This Oktoberfest beer is really hitting the spot for me tonight. Beutful amber color with just the right amount of malty goodness to make me realize that even in Texas Fall will come eventually. Delicious! I may have a new fav Oktoberfest my friends!]]>7943Hello from massachusettsSat, 14 Sep 2019 21:21:53 +0000https://www.botl.org/threads/hello-from-massachusetts.95690/
